FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an exemplary system for accessing applications installed on a personal computer from a compact, handheld, portable communication device; and -
FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of an exemplary method for accessing an application installed on a personal computer from a compact, handheld, portable communication device. - Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals refer to like components or steps, there are disclosed broad aspects of various exemplary embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing anexemplary system 100 for accessing an application installed on a personal computer (PC) 112 from a compact, handheld,portable communication device 102. - In the
exemplary system 100, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 engages in communications viacommunication network 104. In some embodiments, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 is a cellular telephone. In other embodiments, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 is a Blackberry. In still other embodiments, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 is some other such device. - However, it should be noted that laptop computers are cumbersome and difficult to transport relative to, for example, a cellular telephone or a Blackberry. Laptop computers are too large and too heavy to be carried in a pocket. The compact, handheld,
portable communication device 102 is small enough and light enough that it can be carried in the pocket of a garment such as a suit pocket. - In the
exemplary system 100, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 accesses a local area network (LAN) 106 by way of thecommunication network 104. Then, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 communicates with aport 108 connected to an Internet protocol (IP)address 110 for the PC 112. - In other embodiments, the
LAN 106 is omitted. Thus, in some embodiments, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 communicates with a PC 112 that is located in an individual residence or other location that does not utilize or require aLAN 106. - In some embodiments, the means to remotely access PC 112 includes encrypted software. Thus, in some embodiments, the user of the compact, handheld,
portable communication device 102 must properly enter an authentication password in order to gain access to the PC 112 remotely. - In some embodiments, the
communication network 104 is a cellular telephone network. It should be apparent that, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 may be a cellular telephone in embodiments where thecommunication network 104 is a cellular telephone communication network. - In other embodiments, the
communication network 104 is a satellite communication network. In still other embodiments, thecommunication network 104 is another form of a communication network currently known, or later developed. - According to the foregoing, the
system 100 is utilized in situations where a user of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 desires to access an application installed on the PC 112. For example, the user of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 may be a business person traveling for business. The traveling business person takes a call from a colleague, a customer, or a client, and the traveling business person needs to perform a function associated with the application installed on the PC 112 for a caller. In the past, there would be an undesirable delay before the user of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 could access the application installed on the PC 112. - For example, if the user of the compact, handheld,
portable communication device 102 is walking when the call is received, that user would need to stop walking, set up a laptop computer, assuming one was available, boot up the laptop computer, and then remotely access the PC 112 from the laptop computer. - In some instances, the user of the compact, handheld,
portable communication device 102 would not even be carrying a laptop computer at the time the call was received. Likewise, in other instances, the user of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 may actually be seated and working on a laptop computer when the call was received, but in a location where remote access of the PC 112 is not available from the laptop computer. - It is well-known, that communication networks such as cellular telephone communication networks are far more readily available to compact, handheld,
portable communication devices 102 than communication networks are available to a laptop computer such as those that operate through wireless communication network cards. Thus, an exemplary method of remotely accessing an application installed on the PC 112 from the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 includes the following. -
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of anexemplary method 200 of accessing an application installed on a PC 112 from a compact, handheld,portable communication device 102.Exemplary method 200 starts atstep 202 and then proceeds to step 204. Instep 204, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 accesses thecommunication network 104.Exemplary method 200 then proceeds to step 206. - In step 206 a communication from the compact, handheld,
portable communication device 102 reaches thePC 112. Thus, in one embodiment, the communication from the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 passes from thecommunication network 104 to theLAN 106, then to theport 108, theIP address 110, and hence to thePC 112. It should be apparent that instep 206, the communication reaches thePC 112 from thecommunication network 104 by way of any of the embodiments of thesystem 100 described above in connection withFIG. 1 . - After reaching the
PC 112 instep 206, themethod 200 proceeds to step 208 where the application installed on thePC 112 is opened (or accessed if it is already opened). Themethod 200 then proceeds to step 210. - In
step 210, the display of the application installed on thePC 112 that would appear, or does already appear, on the display of thePC 112 is transmitted through thecommunication network 104 to the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102. In one embodiment, according to thesystem 100, the display of the application on thePC 112 is transmitted from thePC 112 to theIP address 110 throughport 108 toLAN 106 and then through thecommunication network 104 to the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102. Again, it should be apparent that in other embodiments of themethod 200, the display of the application from thePC 112 is transmitted through thecommunication network 104 to the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 according to any of the embodiments ofsystem 100 described above in connection withFIG. 1 . - Once the display of the application from the
PC 112 is received by the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102, that display is reproduced on the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 instep 212 ofmethod 200. In this manner a display of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 has the same appearance as the display of thePC 112 with respect to the application installed on thePC 112. - According to the foregoing, the user of the compact, handheld,
portable communication device 102, is able to remotely log on to thePC 112 and reflect the application running on thePC 112 in a display included with the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102. In this manner, the display of the compact, handheld, portable communication device functions as a window to the display of thePC 112. - The display of the compact, handheld,
portable communication device 102 reads display traffic from thePC 112 in some embodiments. Thus, in some embodiments, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 makes conversions and/or compressions as appropriate to display the information from the application running on thePC 112 in a corresponding manner on the display of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102. - According to the foregoing, it is believed that any currently known, or later developed, operating system for the
PC 112 would be capable of functioning in thesystem 100 andmethod 200 so long as that operating system has the capability of remote access. - In order to aid in minimizing the size that can be achieved for the compact, handheld,
portable communication device 102, it is believed to be desirable that the software loaded on the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 to implement the functionality of themethod 200 be as lightweight as possible. Similarly, some embodiments of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 would be capable of operating according to themethod 200 with different versions ofPC 112 running different operating systems. - It should also be apparent that, in some embodiments, data is transferred from the
PC 112 to the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102. In some instances, data transmitted from thePC 112 to the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 is data in the form of an electronic file. In some instances, the data is of some form other than an electronic file. - It should also be apparent that, in some embodiments, the data received by the compact, handheld,
portable communication device 102 from thePC 112 is subsequently forwarded to a third device. For example, it should be apparent that, in some embodiments, the user of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 receives a request from a third party for the data, retrieves the data from thePC 112, and subsequently forwards the data to an electronic device of the third party making the request for the data. In some embodiments, the data is manipulated by the compact, handheld,portable communications device 112. Thus, in some embodiments the data is forwarded back to thePC 112 in an altered form. - Once the display of the application from the
PC 112 is reproduced on the display of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102, a command for the application installed on thePC 112 is entered remotely at the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 instep 214 ofmethod 200. Themethod 200 then proceeds to step 216 where the application command remotely entered instep 214 is transmitted to thePC 112. Again, it should be apparent that the components through which the command transmitted instep 216 pass between the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 and thePC 112 are according to any of the embodiments ofsystem 100 described above in connection withFIG. 1 . - Once the application command for the
PC 112 remotely entered at the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 is received at thePC 112, that application command is executed at thePC 112 instep 218 ofmethod 200. - Examples of commands executed at
PC 112 instep 218 include file transfer commands. This would be beneficial, for example, where the caller to the user of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 needs a file stored onPC 112, and that file is not otherwise available to the remote user of the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102. - It should be apparent that in
steps method 200, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 does not access the entire environment of the desktop of thePC 112 in all embodiments. Rather, in some embodiments, the compact, handheld,portable communication device 102 only accesses a portion of the environment available on the desktop display of thePC 112 necessary to open the application installed on thePC 112 instep 208 and display the application installed on thePC 112 instep 210. - It should also be apparent that the compact, handheld,
portable communication device 102 includes a sufficient amount of memory to implement thesystem 100 andmethod 200 according to the functionality and other description above. Followingstep 218, themethod 200 proceeds to step 220 where themethod 200 stops. - Although the various exemplary embodiments have been described in detail with particular reference to certain exemplary aspects thereof, it should be understood that the invention is capable of other different embodiments, and its details are capable of modifications in various obvious respects. As is readily apparent to those skilled in the art, variations and modifications can be affected while remaining within the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the foregoing disclosure, description, and figures are for illustrative purposes only, and do not in any way limit the invention, which is defined only by the claims.
